Mary Anne Ehlert is a nationally recognized expert in special needs planning. As a Partner at Simplicity Group and Founder of Protected Tomorrows, a Simplicity Commitment, she leads the organization in providing advocacy, education, and planning support to families with loved ones who have disabilities.

Mary Anne founded Protected Tomorrows more than 35 years ago after her family’s personal journey with special needs planning for her sister Marcia’s future revealed a lack of available resources. She has since dedicated her life to building those resources for others.
